- Officials said he was about a foot from the building when he fired several times, did not shoot at the school, and was arrested within minutes outside the main doors.

- Some parents reported delayed alerts about the lockdown, and school and city leaders said they are reviewing notification systems and addressing cell dead spots inside buildings.
